Recently I join our local Photo Club because "I needed a Hobby!" :). I have had my camera, a Nikon D60, for about three years now and I'm still very new at using it. I figure this would be a good way to learn more about it and have more opportunities to take pics since it seems that on my own I never have time for it. This is the first outing I have gone out to.

What did I learn during this outing... kinda boring taking pictures of stuff. I definitely enjoy it more taking pics of moving things. I just don't have the eye for this kinda stuff yet but maybe in a couple of "years" I will!

My coworkers have been so wonderful in donating items to be sent over seas to Rauls company. As soon as I mentioned if they wanted to help our donation box was just overflowing with goodies. So far we have been able to send 4 boxes! This is what we sent this week:

One box is going to a specific female soldier and the other is packed with stuff that they can all divide up. With that box I ended packing small containers with candy, gum and chapstick, and zip-lock bags with hygiene stuff so its easy for Raul to pass out.

Not being near a military base around others that just "know" your situation is hard but I am so grateful that where ever God take us in our journey we have always been surrounded by wonderful people. I am amazed when I think about all the people that have came into our lives and have become party of our family!
